Knitting Pattern: Aurinko Sweater (by Terri Maue)

The yoke cardigan is knitted flat from the top down. Colorwork decorates the yoke, while textured stitches embellish the lower section.

The Aurinko sweater pattern was first published in the Beloved Patterns & Erik Bruun knitting magazine, inspired by Finnish graphic designer Erik Bruun’s iconic posters.
